9/VIII 1919.

T[ovarisch] Klinger!

I am sending a letter to Balab[anova]1.

It is necessary to give it - but under supervision.

And it is necessary to send to France (letters, documents, money) not to Longe, but to the newspaper L'lnternationale2 , by all means.

Your Lenin.

Fond 2, op. 1, d. 10874 - autograph.

1The letter to A.I.Balabanova has not been found.

2 "L'Internationale" ("Internationale") - a weekly newspaper of French syndicalists, the organ of the Committee for Syndicalist Defense; it was published in Paris from February to July 1919 under the editorship of R. Peric.
